Brandy Von Holten- "I draw experiences from 23 years of international fighting, being homeless twice, and being the first person in my family to go to college.  Over the years I accumulated a BS in Biology with a minor in Physics, a BA in Criminal Justice, and a Master in Teaching.  However, lessons from the school of hard knocks proved to be more valuable at times. I believe education is never free no matter where it comes from for you.  People have counted me down, but they learned to never count me out. My husband, David, and I took a non-functioning century-old family farm all the way to being voted Missouri's Best Ranch. Hard work, a tenacious spirit, and a whole bunch of wrong decisions have led me to finally get it right. Not all are born with confidence, but confidence can be created, as a result of using the tools you have in your own toolbox. Belief in yourself can move mountains!"www.brandyvonholten.com
